Yes...Princess Alexandra wore it to the New Year's gala in 2004! She looks fantastic and her smile is glorious! This is why I love the DRF so much...here is Princess Alexandra...divorced...but is still valued and treasured by still being included in events such as these! She, Prince Joachim and the royal family deserve the highest praise for how their divorce was handled!

I dont want to say much on mary right now cause we dont have to many good pics. But from what I see she looks so much more older. The dress, the hair everything about her. But its a bit unfair to say right now cause we cant see her that well.

Maybe because of the high neckline and long sleeves? In addition, there was a winter storm in Denmark and possibly Mary chose this style as its warmer? But as you said...larger and clearer pics are needed to judge the dress better!

Mary's gown is old fashioned, but I like it. I actually really liked her hair and how she wore the tiara. It suits the winter wearther in Denmark. All in all, she looks elegant but its an old fashioned kind of elegance.

QM - she's worn this dress a number of times already so cant really say much except that she looks queenly.

I was kinda hoping that Alex would wear that purple gown she has that I love so much (in those potraits taken when Joachim and Alex were still together). I've never seen her wear it and I wish she would. Its good that she wore the red gown again, though i don't really like it. Her make up is much darker and harsher than normal too, and the hair higher and bigger than how she normally wears it. I like it better when Alex when she wears lighter make up.

i think that in addition to the old fashion gown Mary's wearing...i also think that she looks older than she really is in the pics (like in her 40's and 50s) with her hair and tiara and the gown......i think she would look better in another lighter color (e.g., red or sth) ...also her gown would look much better if the neck line is lower....(with some fur coat or sth)
